French club Saint-Etienne have told Liverpool not to bother with their pursuit for promising attacker Dimitri Payet. The 23-year old Frenchman has netted eight goals in 12 league appearances this term and has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool following Saint- Etienne's former sporting director Damien Comolli arriving at Anfield as Director of Football Strategy earlier this month. But Les Verts co-president Roland Romeyer said that Liverpool had no chance of luring Payet to England just yet. "We have built a roster for the season," Romeyer told France Football. "There will be no departures during the winter transfer window. "Should there be any movement, it would be the other way. Depending on injuries, for example, we could sign a player. But this is only a theory. "
